  • Paul Berman joins Highrise AI with over 20 years of enterprise technology sales leadership, specializing in building and scaling go-to-market teams at early- and growth-stage companies.
  • Most recently, Berman served as VP of Go-to-Market at PaleBlueDot AI, focusing on enterprise adoption and partnerships in the GPU infrastructure ecosystem for large-scale AI workloads.
  • He will drive commercial expansion as Highrise addresses the shift from experimental to production AI, emphasizing predictable performance, security, and reliable scaling.
  • Highrise's GPU-native platform delivers bare-metal performance, full-stack orchestration, API access, and hardware-enforced isolation for training, fine-tuning, and inference.
  • Powered by latest-generation NVIDIA architectures and high-density clusters, the platform optimizes distributed training with high-bandwidth networking and high-throughput storage.
  • As a subsidiary of Hut 8 Corp., Highrise leverages integrated power and compute infrastructure to support confidential and performance-critical AI environments.

The transition of AI workloads from experimentation to full production is creating urgent demand for dedicated, high-performance GPU infrastructure that avoids the limitations of shared cloud environments. Highrise AI's platform meets this need by providing greater control over performance, cost, and security while enabling seamless scaling for developers and enterprises.

Vince Fong, Co-Founder and CEO of Highrise AI, said: "AI workloads are moving rapidly from experimentation into production, driving demand for infrastructure that delivers predictable performance, uncompromising security, and the ability to scale reliably. Highrise was built for this reality. As demand accelerates, we are expanding our commercial organization to better support enterprise deployments and deepen relationships with customers building large-scale AI systems. Paul has built and scaled go-to-market teams for high-growth infrastructure platforms, and his experience will be instrumental as we capture this opportunity."

Paul Berman, Vice President of Cloud Sales at Highrise AI, said: "We are seeing strong demand from both AI-native companies and enterprises seeking alternatives to shared cloud environments. As workloads mature, many teams are prioritizing dedicated GPU infrastructure that gives them greater control over performance, cost, and security. Highrise provides that foundation, and I look forward to working with customers and partners to help them build long-term infrastructure strategies and scale deployments on the Highrise platform."

Highrise combines bare-metal GPU clusters with advanced orchestration and confidential compute capabilities, making it well-suited for mission-critical AI applications. Backed by Hut 8 Corp.'s extensive energy infrastructure, the platform ensures reliable, scalable power for next-generation compute demands.
